ANKARA: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday blasted some Arab countries for backing a Middle East plan unveiled by the United States, condemning it as “treason”. “Some Arab countries that support such a plan commit treason against Jerusalem, as well as against their own people, and more importantly against all humanity,” Erdogan told his party’s lawmakers in the parliament. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called the peace plan the “slap of the century”. “The United States’ so-called peace plan is stillborn,” Turkey’s foreign ministry had said in a statement. Speaking in Ankara, Erdogan said Turkey could not handle a fresh influx of migrants.
